The Constant Conversation: Can Social Media Be Standardized and Trusted?

IT World Canada covers social media and how CIOs should have a fundamental knowledge of how this emerging technology is used. Michael Gladstone, CIO of IIBA, discusses his use of LinkedIn and Twitter. The social media policy discussion segment explores whether social media should be banned or allowed in an organization. The concept of blogging versus the popular social networks we're seeing today is looked at, and Mr. Gladstone details why today's technology has caught on while blogging did not.

On this same topic, Steve Groves, CIO of Goodlife Fitness, explains that social media policy should be a company-wide decision. When using a social media compliance solution, it's important to cover how exactly every department, including IT, needs the tool to work. The last segment covers the IT's role in the decision of whether or not social media should be allowed in a company.
